My take for today:

Thank you, LORD, for Salvation.

Bible verse:

2 Timothy 2:8–13 (NIV) -- ⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, ⁹ for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God’s word is not chained. ¹⁰ Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. ¹¹ Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; ¹² if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; ¹³ if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.

My take for today:

God is faithful.

My prayer:

Lord, I thank you for the gift of life; I thank you for being so faithful to me since conception. Lord, I ask for the quickening of my faithfulness to endure and to tell of your faithfulness to all within my house and circle of influence as prompted by the Holy Spirit.  In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Bible verse:

Colossians 2:13–15 (NIV) -- ¹³ When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, ¹⁴ having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. ¹⁵ And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

My take for today:

Releasing the voice of the Blood.

My prayer:

Father, I thank you for the shed Blood of your only begotten Son, full of grace and truth. Father, I release the power and voice of the Blood of Christ against the leviathan and the host of the kingdom of darkness that seeks to destroy my life in Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Bible verse:

Ephesians 2:1–6 (NIV) -- ¹ As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, ² in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. ³ All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. ⁴ But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, ⁵ made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. ⁶ And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.

My take for today:

Overcomers.

My prayer:

Thank you, Lord, for the power to stop the serpent, the devil, from destroying your children in Christ. Lord, I thank you for the Blood of Jesus that has separated us from Adamic curses to sit in heavenly places as over-comers and be fruitful in Jesus Christ, Amen.

Bible verse:

Lamentations 3:17–23 (NIV) -- ¹⁷ I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is. ¹⁸ So I say, “My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the Lord.” ¹⁹ I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. ²⁰ I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. ²¹ Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: ²² Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. ²³ They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

My take for today:

God's Compassion.

My prayer:

Lord, I thank you for another day of love and mercies from you so that I may show others that your mercies are new every day and that your compassion fails not to those who dare to ask for mercy in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Pastor Eric's Words of Redemption

Bible verse:

2 Corinthians 4:2–4 (NIV) -- ² Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. ³ And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. ⁴ The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

My take for today:

The Power of Redemption.

My prayer:

Father, thank you for the voice and power of redemption that renders the kingdom of darkness powerless in my life unto eternity. Lord, help us to use the power of redemption without deception to set ourselves and others free to the glory and praise of Jesus Christ. Amen.

God's unfailing deliverance.
